And here they are:     THIRD PLACE ‘Sudiva Enshrined’ by Jhym Sudiva stopped in her endless pacing and shivered in the darkness. She had heard… something. A distant, keening, fitful wail, almost as though a puff of smoke had extinguished the last of the embers remaining from a conflagration that had almost destroyed the world.
